Fairy tale crime scene

Naive princesses, deceitful stepmothers, evil witches - female fairy tale stereotypes are deeply rooted in our social memory. The Portuguese director Teresa Coutinho rewrites fairy tales. In this work, she refers to the impressive work of the painter Paula Rego. In her work, Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood's mother are completely different: they are multi-layered women who can empower themselves, disrupt themselves and become perpetrators. The Kunstmuseum Basel is dedicating the first Swiss exhibition to the Portuguese-British artist in autumn 2024, and the Basler Compagnie will perform in her honour at the museum. A musical performance based on the Brothers Grimm's motifs will be created amidst the pictures.
